Most family activities on Magdalen Farm are for families who have
children with special educational needs or a disability.
We are delighted to run the Just Act Natural programme of family activities, which provides a series of one-day and overnight “sleepover” trips for families to spend time together.
Facilities on site include …
- a network of accessible paths
- a Gold Standard Changing Place
- a fleet of three Tramper all terrain wheelchairs
Many of the children who come on Just Act Natural family activities have learning disabilities and additional emotional needs. This is an inclusive place where everyone is welcome and everyone is supported.
We ask for small payments from families, but Just Act Natural is heavily subsidised by the National Lottery Community Fund.
Just Act Natural is run in partnership with …
Arriving at Magdalen farm is a breath of fresh air, because both my children and I know that they won’t be judged, they’ll be able to succeed at the activities and this precious holiday will be fun

I feel like you have a winning formula here for us: relaxed, friendly, accepting we can do things at our own pace/on our terms, varied, wholesome (activities and food!) and in contact with nature!

This is a very special place where dreams are made. There is nowhere else where staff and the other families understand my children’s needs like Magdalen. We would be lost without this truly amazing facility
